[to Timaeus and Dark Magician Girl] Well done, my creatures. He's gone now. Thanks to you two. But I feel this is just the beginning. [Timaeus and Dark Magician Girl vanished Up top Rafael watches him standing the circle] YOU HEAR ME, DARTZ?! WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU! AND I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT MY FRIENDS! [his echoes shouted around the mountains]
RRafael
I have to say I'm glad you won, Pharaoh. 'Cause now I can be the one who delivers your soul to Master Dartz. [walks away]
[Tea spots at Ironheart, Chris and Skye along with the three legendary dragons in stone]
Wait. That's a carving of Ironheart, Chris and Skye from 10,000 years ago?
So you mean to tell me that those guys were just ghosts or something?
They're spirits who once fought a great war, and now they've been captured by Dartz. [Tea stands up then she and the Pharaoh turns around and walks away] This gives me three more reasons to hunt down this madman and bring peace to the world once again.
[Inside Paradius headquarters Mai at the meeting room with Dartz, Valon, Rafael, and Alister after Joey defeats Rex Raptor at the middle of nowhere on the railway line]
Just leave Joey Wheeler to me.
RRafael
You'll do nothing until Master Dartz gives you an assignment.
What is this, Third grade? I decide who I'm gonna duel for myself. I don't wait for the homework assignment.
RRafael
Why don't you show a little respect?
Come on, Raf, as if little miss loud mouth knows respect?
Look, I was doing perfectly fine until Johnny stuntman over there stepped in. If it wasn't for you, I would a won. As for you, I don't need some scrawny freak dictating my every move! [turns back around toward the door Dartz watches] I'm out of here, losers! [opens the door] Humph! [walks off alone]
She can try to run away from fate, But in the end she'll get what she deserves.
Take a look, Rafael. Your friend wasn't careful.
RRafael
[spots at Alister in stone] Alister.
Don't sound so displeased. He's better off where he is now. Alister's energy, along with our other prisoners', will fuel the great beast. The Pharaoh and his friends will be arriving shortly. I trust you'll give them a warm welcome, Hmm.
RRafael
He won't escaped me this time.
RRafael
[on radio] The Pharaoh's friends are heading your way.
Good, Then is time for me to show Joey Wheeler who's boss.
[Valon turns off the radio and hops on the motorcycle droves off on the way back to the city]
[thinking] I gotta prove me-self to Mai.
[Tristan and Tea saw Joey was running in the streets in the middle of the night]
Hey! Come back! You're going the wrong way!
He's heading straight for the zombie patrol.
Go warn the others, Tea! I gotta stop him! [rans off]
[running, thinking] I'm coming for you, Dartz. And I'm not leaving without Yugi and Mai!
[To Be Continued...]
RRafael
Well, It's about time you showed up for our rematch.
This doesn't concern you, Rafael. I'm here to see Dartz. Is your master so much of a coward that he sent you to do his battles for him?
RRafael
Not quite. You owe me something. But first. [holds a card and he catches the card to the Pharaoh] Why don't you take this?
[spots the Claw of Hermos card] It's the Claw of Hermos. Joey's card. So you're the one who defeated Joey, aren't you?
RRafael
Actually, Mai beat Joey, then I defeated her.
But why? Wasn't Mai on your side?
RRafael
I never trusted her, and turns out I was right all along. [Flashback to his and Mai's duel inside Paradius; voice-over] After she took Joey's soul, she turned on me.
I've had it with your ridiculous world domination mumbo jumbo and I want out! It's time for your master Dartz to answer for what he made me do to Joey. Let's see how he likes it when the orichalcos captures him!
RRafael
You sure you don't wanna take that back? Dartz isn't exactly known for his sense of humor.
RRafael
Then you leave me no choice. It's my duty to protect him, so goodbye to your soul. [activates his chaos duel disk and Mai activates her chaos duel disk, voice-over] Biggest mistake she ever made.
[Rafael defeats Mai and she screaming as the orichalcos claims her soul away.]
Joey! I'm sorry, I tried my best. [collapses and drops the Claw of Hermos card.]
RRafael
[voice-over] Unfortunately, her best wasn't good enough.
[the flashback ends]
This madness has to stop. Just think of how many innocent lives have been destroyed. You may be next.
RRafael
Do you think I really care? I made a commitment to help Master Dartz save the planet from crumbling at the hands of people like you, and if keeping my promise means giving up my own soul, well, then so be it, 'cause even if I'm captured, I'll be doing my part by giving the Great Leviathan the strength it needs to restore peace to the world once again.
Wake up, Rafael! Can't you see that your so-called Master Dartz is just using you to satisfy his own selfish needs? If you really what to save the world, then stop fighting me and join my side.
RRafael
As soon as the great beast is revived, I'm afraid your side will no longer exist, Pharaoh, and all it needs to get started is one more strong soul.
RRafael
You better believe it. as we speak, the Great Leviathan lurks in the shadows all over the earth. And as soon as I defeat you, your life energy will be offered to the beast, giving it the strength it needs to fully cross over into our world.
RRafael
As we speak, the most devastating creature that ever lived is waiting to rise again. All it needs now is your soul, and the Sacred Seal of Orichalcos will take care of that once I take you down. Of course, I already defeated you once, but somehow you were able to cheat me by switching places with someone else. [Flashes back to their last duel as the Seal took Yugi. Flashback ends] Don't even think about trying to pull a stunt like that again, Pharaoh. I don't appreciate being lied to, and besides, there's no one for you to hide behind this time, 'cause now it's just you and me. The winner leaves a free man. The loser becomes a prisoner to the beast!
You're on! If that's what it takes to set my friends free, then let's duel! And once you're out of my way, I can go straight for Dartz! It's just a shame that a duelist with your talents has to throw it all away by following a madman.
RRafael
Look, Master Dartz opened me up the truth and made me who I am today. You're just jealous because you don't have one of [holds up the Seal of Orichalcos card] these, right? Well, not anymore, anyway.
You can't tempt me with that again, Rafael.
RRafael
I wasn't planning on it, but you can have one last look at it while you shuffle my deck… for old time's sake.
I know what you're trying to do, and it won't work. I won't give in to my dark side!
RRafael
We'll see about that.
[thinking] I must stay true to my heart, no matter what he tries to do.
[The two shuffle their decks]
RRafael
May the best man win...and when I do, you'll be gone forever. I'm gonna enjoy this.
PRPharaoh and Rafael
Time to Duel!
RRafael
Now I play Butterfly Dagger. This weapon gives my Backup Gardna 300 extra attack points. It also allows me to summon my Guardian Elma.
I've never seen that Guardian monster.
RRafael
There are plenty of monsters in my deck you've never seen, and this one lets me bring my Guardian Shield back from the graveyard. And I'll give it to Guardian Elma. Plus, my Backup Gardna's special ability transfers my Butterfly Dagger to Guardian Elma. Now, Guardian Elma… attack his Queen's Knight! Guardian Grarl, it's your turn now! Attack his King's Knight with Gravity Axe! What now, Pharaoh? What puny knight stands between me and your Life Points?
[thinking] He gave up his own strength to save his monster! [speaking] I'll place two cards face down and end my turn. [thinking] I've never come across a duelist like him before. He refuses to let any of his monsters go to the card graveyard. He protects them at all costs! Why would a duelist like this hold a card like the Seal of Orichalcos? [speaking] Rafael, don't you understand what's going on here? As long as you're loyal to Dartz, you'll never be true to yourself. You have too much respect for your cards to use them for such an evil purpose. But Dartz has brainwashed you into believing you're someone else!
RRafael
The only thing Master Dartz did was open my eyes to the truth.
RRafael
This world is an evil place, and you're part of the problem. So I'm here to fix that. And thanks to my master, I have just the tool to do it. Now, I play the Seal of Orichalcos!
NO, RAFAEL! PLEASE, DON'T!
RRafael
Sorry, Pharaoh, it's too late for that now. Your fate is sealed!
[Tea, Tristan, Seto Kaiba and Mokuba finds Mai Valentine's lifeless body]
[looks at soulless Mai] Oh, man. Don't tell me you guys she lost her soul too.
[?] I don't mean to sound insensitive, but who's carrying her?
You're making a mistake! RAFAEL! NO!
RRafael
This time the Seal belongs to me!
What were you thinking, Rafael? Now one of us is going to lose his soul.
RRafael
That's the whole point, Pharaoh. The Great Leviathan needs power, and once I take you down and capture your soul, that legendary creature will have the strength it needs to awaken.
That's the same guy who beat Yugi last time!
RRafael
It's time to bring out my ultimate monster, but first I'll play this card, Celestial Sword - Eatos!
[thinking] The Sword of Eatos? This can only mean one thing: he's about to summon Guardian Eatos!
RRafael
Now I'll draw two cards. The time has come to play the card that beat you last time. It's my Guardian Eatos!
I have to act quickly! With 500 Life Points left, I don't have much time! [Guardian Eatos soon becomes infected by the darkness of the Orichalcos] Look what you've done to your Guardian! It's been consumed by darkness!
RRafael
Exactly, and it's more powerful than ever now. Nothing can stop it.
[Guardian Eatos tries to destroy Yugi's Dark Magician with her Celestial Sword and it breaks, cutting her attack points back to 3000]
RRafael
[shocked] Say what?!
Allow me to clear things up for you. A few moments ago, I sent three monsters to my graveyard, one of which saved me. That card was this, my Electromagnetic Turtle! When this monster was destroyed, it created an electromagnetic barrier, shielding my magician from your attack.
RRafael
No way. He had that planned all along!
RRafael
[thinking] The Pharaoh's gonna pay for mocking the power of my Guardian Eatos. [speaking] I END MY TURN!
Perhaps you should've thought twice before you poisoned your own monsters with the dark powers of the Orichalcos. Take it from someone with experience. Betraying your monsters only backfires in the end.
RRafael
You played the Seal of Orichalcos once and all of a sudden you're an expert of the subject?
RRafael
You can't win a duel with defense, Pharaoh. All you're doing is stalling for time. Well, I'm afraid your time's just run out. Eatos, destroy his most valuable monster, the Dark Magician!
Magical Hats, activate! Hide my monsters!
RRafael
What's going on?!
Awesome! Magical Hats shuffled Yugi's monsters so Blondie blasted the wrong one.
That's true, but he gets to attack again, so Yugi's magician's still in danger!
All right, one of these three remaining hats is concealing my monster, so go ahead! Hit me with your best shot!
RRafael
[thinking] Three hats and one monster. I know what I have to do. I'll use Elma to improve my odds, then I'll send Grarl to finish things off. [speaking] Go, Elma! Find his Dark Magician! [Guardian Elma strikes her butterfly dagger at the second hat] Now I have a 50-50 shot. Guardian Grarl, attack!
[Guardian Grarl punches the third hat with his fist, Dark Magician appears from the last hat]
What a shame. Looks like you used up all of your chances.
RRafael
[thinking] How could I have messed that up?! I was about to win the duel and capture the Pharaoh! [speaking] My turn's not over yet! I activate my Rod of Silence! This lets me play another Guardian monster, my all-powerful Guardian Kay'est!
[After the Pharaoh destroys Guardian Eatos with his Amulet Dragon, Guardian Dreadscythe appears on the field]
[horrified shock] What's that?!
[terrified] I've got one word: nasty!
Here's four: I'm gonna be sick.
For the last time, what is that thing?!
RRafael
I told you-- when Eatos goes to the graveyard, this monster is summoned to the field in its place. So say hello to my Guardian Dreadsycthe!
Hello and goodbye. It's no match for my dragon!
RRafael
It will be. First, I'll boost its strength with my Reaper Scythe magic card. Now, for the best part, thanks to its new weapon, my Guardian of darkness gains 500 attack points for every monster in my graveyard.
But why? I thought you despised having monsters in your graveyard!
RRafael
But I despise you even more, so what's a few monsters in the grave if it means destroying you forever? And with only 500 Life Points left, you won't last long.
I know first-hand what the Oricalchos does to a person's heart and I can help you. Think, when Earls was destroyed, you released your anger on your other monsters. You left the Oricalchos feed on your rage like I did.
RRafael
So? What's your point?
That this isn't who you really are. The darkness within you has taken control, and now you must face that darkness head on. It's the only way for you to save yourself.
RRafael
You need to be saved.
If you don't believe my words, then maybe this will convince you!
RRafael
What are you holding?
A card that forces you to take a closer look at yourself-- Underworld Circle!
RRafael
What on earth does that do?
BEHOLD! It's time to take some responsibility for what you've done, Rafael! Underworld Circle, activate!
